If you read a report of a hate crime, and it doesn’t involve unrelated witnesses, much less actual physical presence (to say nothing of physical contact), assume its a hoax first, then verify.
And, on verifying, almost invariably congratulate yourself on not being fooled!
I did that with this story. And most every one like it in the past 18 months.
It’s served me well.
